Hey all,
Just got to installing MSVC++ Express Beta 2 and I thought I installed the program as well as the platform SDK correctly but I'm getting an error:
Project : error PRJ0003 : Error spawning 'cl.exe'.
when I try to build a win32 application. This is coming right after I fixed a different problem when the compiler was having trouble finding windows.h. I have followed This explanation for setting up the platform SDK and I felt confident that everything was set up. Anybody else get this error or know how to fix it?
Thanks,
Jeff

Thanks for the reply. I keep changing around that config file trying to get it to work, but still no luck. How should the config file look? The site I linked to above tells you to change it, but doesn't show what the end product should be along the lines of.

EDIT: I'm getting the error because my Platform SDK's bin folder doesn't have a cl.exe. Is this normal or am I missing something?

Now, when I'm creating Win32 (non-console) applications, I'm getting linking errors. I was under the impression that the compiler had already set the linker for a Win32 app, but apparently not. How do I go about doing this in MSVC++ 2005 Express Beta 2?
